He has been involved with knife making at age of 20, helping his father's business of the knife buffing and polishing. He has started making his own custom knives at 32 with a passion and yearning to Bob Loveless. In 1994, he had a chance to visit the Loveless's workshop in Riverside, California to show some of his knives. Bob was surprised with his work of high level craftsmanship, and asked him to stay and work together at his shop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At that time, there was no name marking on his blades, so Bob has wondered why you don't put your name on such well made knives, and has kindly designed his logo on memo pad with his signature and words of \"Vigilant\", \"Diligent\" \u0026amp; \"Capable\". Upon returning to Japan, he has started engraving this logo. It was an unforgettable moment in his life to be able to meet with Bob Loveless so called \"A God of Knife\" at his young age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTW-800 Loveless Field \u0026amp; Stream Stag handled Compact and Practical Drop point Hunter, 3-1\/2\" beautifull high-mirror polished ATS-34 hollow ground drop point utility blade. 4\" Hand contoured Genuine Stag handle with Nickel silver hilt, Full tapered tang with Nickel silver Loveless bolts and tubelar lanyard hold on end, Comes with custom fitted Brown tubelar leather sheath\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eATS-34 blade in 4.5mm thick, 88mm blade, 187mm overall, Weight 110g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnife Model: Takayuki Watanabe \u003cspan\u003eTW-800 Loveless Field \u0026amp; Stream\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade Material: ATS-34 Stainless Steel \u003cbr\u003eRockwell Hardness (HRc): 60\u003cbr\u003eHandle Material: \u003cspan\u003e Hand contoured Genuine Stag handle with Nickel silver hilt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeather Sheath: Included. \u003cbr\u003eOverall Length: 187mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 88mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Thickness: 4.5mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 110g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takayuki Watanabe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34773682683949,"sku":"TW-800","price":104000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2159\/5123\/products\/takayuki-watanabe-tw-800-loveless-field-stream-17287257817133.jpg?v=1599587669","url":"https:\/\/japaneseknifedirect.mom\/products\/tw-800-loveless-field-stream","provider":"japaneseknifedirect.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
